Second City – Neal Horgan

‘Second City,’ is the follow up to Neal Horgan’s critically acclaimed account of Cork City FC’s 2008 season, entitled ‘Death of a Football Club?’

Neal Horgan is a Practising Solicitor living in Cork City and a regular contributor to the Irish Examiner’s sports pages. Between 2000 and 2015, Horgan played 15 seasons with Cork City FC in the League of Ireland, winning every major trophy and playing in every European competition available. A self proclaimed ‘conservative full back’ in his playing days, Horgan admits that his books have been influenced by a diverse range of influences including Eamon Dunphy’s ‘Only a Game’, ‘A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch’ by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, and ‘Catch-22,’ by Joseph Heller.
